A well-researched and well-written account of Indian Posse founder Danny Wolfe. The book illuminates how the history of Danny's parents and grandparents, products of the residential school system, gave him a shaky start in life - a child who started his life of 'crime' stealing food from his Winnipeg neighbours' gardens because he was hungry, and ultimately grew to become a feared killer. Also interesting is the look at the structure of the Indian Posse gang, which still operates today. Unlike most other gangs, the leadership is fluid and operates through a "council" of higher level members. I think anyone interested in psychology, gangs, or from Winnipeg's North End will find this a worthwhile read.
